Smoke Jn
Often
Kil
Than Fire Flames
More than 6,000 people die and
over 300,000 are injured each
year in this country by fire in
residences. Many of these deaths
and injuries are caused not by
flames, but by smoke inhalation.
Joan K. Leavitt, M .D., state
health commissioner. stressed
the importance of installing a
smoke detector in the home. This
device is designed to provide an
early warning when a fire begins,
thus enabling occupants to escape
safely.
"Most fire victims die from the
inhalation of smoke and toxic
gases rather than flame," Dr.
Leavitt said. "Many home fires
smolder slowly for hours before
they burst into open flames.
While this is taking place, toxic
gases, including carbon monoxide, are produced. If you are
asleep when the gas enters your
room, you probably would never
wake up."
There are two basic kinds of
smoke detectors--ionization and
photoelectric. Each senses smoke
by a different principle of operation . Ion chamber detectors
detect both visible and invisible
products of combustion. Photoelectric detectors detect only
visible products of combustion.
Both types are recommended by
the U.S . Consumer Product
Safety Commission.
In addition to smoke detectors,
some manufacturers offer a heat
sensing device as either standard
or optional part of their smoke
detectors, or as a separate
product. Heat detectors must be
close to a fire to ~et off the alarm,
thus they do not offer as much
protection as smoke detectors.
However, they are especially
useful in kitchens where grease
particles in the air might cause a
smoke sensor to give false
alarms. They might also be used
in areas that are too hot or too
cold for smoke detectors to function properly, such as fum ace
rooms, attics and attached
garages.
Review
1. Jesus was a real person and the Bible is historically
accurate.
2. Jesos was who he claimed to be . or he was a liar.
3. Jesus did perform miracles that were designed to prove
his deity.
The Evidence for the
Resurrection!
It is a historical fact that the tomb of Jesus is empty.
Either man took the body. God took the body, or Jesus was
not really dead.
1. Old the Jews tiki the body of Jaus?
If they did take the body, they could have quickly
stopped the Christian religion by producing the dead body.
They did not! The Jews tried their best to make sure the
tomb would not be empty on the third day. Read . Matt.
27:62-66.
2. Old the dlsclpt• tlkt the body of J1111?
The Bible shows that the disciples were completely
demoralized and afraid. There was a Roman guard at the
tomb of Jesus . These soldiers had their lives on the line. If
the body disappeared . they would lose their lives. The
disciples could not have had any conviction . because they
would have known they were teaching a lie. Their lives
proved otherwise !
3. Old the Rom1n1 tiki the body?
The Romans had no motive at all.
4. Jesus was not rulty dad!
This argument doesn 't make any sense.
a. Crucifixion was one of the most hideous deaths
possible . When we add the trauma of Gethsemany,
and the humiliation and beating given by Pilate and
his court the situation becomes even more ridiculous.
b. The soldiers. Jews. and Pilate himself declared that
Jesus was dead.
c. Jesus was wrapped with linen and embombed with
75 pounds of myrrh and aloes. (John 19:38-40)
His hands were bound to his sides. How could he
have possibly released himself? He didn 't even have
the strength to carry his cross .
d The entrance to the tomb was covered with a " very
large stone ... (Mark 16:4) How could a weakened
man move a huge stone?

1. Jesus predicted his resurrection. (Matt. 16:21 : Luke 9:
22) He put everything on the line. If his resurrection was
impossible. all the miracles he did were wasted. and we
could hardly call htm a " wise teacher " .
2. The resurrection of Jesus would prove conclusively that
he was the Son of God. (Romans 1!4)
If Jesus was raised . then we can depend on his
promises. Jesus promised life. (John 11 :24) If Jesus was
raised. we can be raised. (Romans 6:3-9) If Jesus was
raised. the Bible' is the real word of God.
3. If Jesus was resurrected from the dead. there is life
after death, and hope. (I Cor. 15:12-20)
4. If Jesus was not raised. the Bible is not reliable, the
miracles of Jesus are questionable. the witness of
historians is false. and the credibility of history has been
dealt a cruel blow. All of these things depend on the
acturacy and reliability of the same source ... the Bible. If
we reject any of it. we must reject all of it.
5. If Jesus was resurrected. it's the best news the world
has every heard .
QUESTIONS AND CONCLUSIONS!
1. What historical reasons do we have for rejecting the
resurrection of Jesus?
2. Give one logical reason for denying the resurrection of
Jesus.
3. What good would come from denying the resurrection
of Jesus?
4. Why would anyone predict his own death. burial and
resurrection and make it the ultimate proof of his daims . .
If It was not possible? Could this person be considered a
" wise teacher " ?
5. If Jesus was resurrected . what are the Implications In
our lives? Consider these scriptures!

American hostages are in their 110th day of captivity, but
anticipation is high that their freedom will soon be a reality.
Iranian officials, however. continue to sway back and forth on their
de~ands which must be negotiated before they approve the release.
At one time, ·reports were that the hostages could be free within a 48
hout period. Bani-Sadr said the problem was in the hands of President
Carter. and whether or not he approved a commission to probe charges
of corruption against the former Shah of Iran.
Then Gotbzadeh came forth and said the hostages would remain in
captivity until the commission publishes its finding. That, of course,
could take 110 days more.
We wonder how much po\'r'er the tieless Bani-Sadr does have. It
often seems that whatever he says is quickly "interpreted" by
Gatbyadeh to mean something else and Gotbyzadeh usually is right.
Milit.ary hospitals are being readied to receive the hostages if, and
when, they are freed.
We must begif! to wonder how much longer those hospitals must
wait for our people.
Hopefully, the Iranian officials can get together and decide what
•
must be done to satisfy them.Untilthey can agree among themselves, it
seems as though there iS very-little the American officials can do to
satisfy them .

I;Jept. Promoting
Vacations .In Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Tourism and
Recreation Department has
launched a spring travel promotion urging everyone to "Break
for Spring in Oklahoma''.
February promotion includes a
Governor's Invitation to Oklahoma Postcard which will be
ma ~led to thousands of persons
who have requested information
on the Sooner State, posters,
buttons. envelopes, stickers,
neVfS releases, newspaper art •nd
mail stutTers.
Abe L. Hesser , Executive
Dit:ector of the Tourism and
Recreation Department, said,
''This is our first big push for the
1980 travel season. We believe
'
cost of gasoline, and all the other
high costs of traveling, will make
it impossible for a great many
families ·to take long distance
trips. but we can offer so much
more in Oklahoma to make visiting here worthwhile."
Hesser went on to say that
personnel in the state resorts,
parks, recreation areas ~nd other
facilities operated by the Tourism
and Recreation Department. have
been working very Hard this
winter to improve the facilities to
prepare them for the arrival of
travelers this year. "We're
ready," Hesser stated, "and we
hope our Break For Spring promotion will get people out of their
winter nests and into our beautiful countryside tor the r:elaxation
and good times everyone needs
and deserves after a winter of
limited activity.''
